SCA: security update for CoreWCF.NetFramingBase (GHSA-32jq-mv89-5rx7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409209

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- CoreWCF is a port of the service side of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to .NET Core. If you have
a NetFraming based CoreWCF service, extra system resources could be consumed by connections being left
established instead of closing or aborting them. There are two scenarios when this can happen. When a
client established a connection to the service and sends no data, the service will wait indefinitely for
the client to initiate the NetFraming session handshake. Additionally, once a client has established a
session, if the client doesn't send any requests for the period of time configured in the binding
ReceiveTimeout, the connection is not properly closed as part of the session being aborted. The bindings
affected by this behavior are NetTcpBinding, NetNamedPipeBinding, and UnixDomainSocketBinding. Only
NetTcpBinding has the ability to accept non local connections. The currently supported versions of CoreWCF
are v1.4.x and v1.5.x. The fix can be found in v1.4.2 and v1.5.2 of the CoreWCF packages. Users are
advised to upgrade. There are no workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2024-28252)
